Cyril Power biography in Biographies from the artzine on artrepublic.comCyril Power is best known for his lively linocuts (prints made by cutting an image into lino) depicting the speed, movement and flow of modern urban London in the 1920’s and 30’s. One of his favourite subjects was the London Underground, a symbol of the modern industrial age, for example his vibrant ‘Tube Station’ print of the newly opened Bank Road Tube Station. As a result Cyril Power and fellow artist Sybil Andrews were commissioned by the London Passenger Transport Board to produce a series of prints depicting sporting venues reached by the Underground.
